New Monster Cityscape - a photo on Flickriver

            All our castles
are deteriorating in a strange static light
The tops of the skyscrapers
Become their true selves
Rejoicing in the destruction of rules!
Celebrating the return of 
Monsterdom!

Don’t worry!
In Monsterdom, it’s not too scary!
You only have to work long hours
if you’re cleaning up a monster mess.
The other days, you get to party on the rooftops
Just be careful you feed the monsters before you 
let your guard down. 

We didn’t elect these creatures
with the sharpest teeth and the slyest smiles
They try to eat us when we’re not looking
Pit us against each other like clever chess masters
Make us remorseful for wanting change at all. 
We don’t remember voting for them to take over the city
Yet, they seem here to stay.

What will it take before we realize it’s better not to be ruled at all?
